The ruling on the loss of a pregnancy due to disregarding the doctors' advice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister Umm Salim says to me: A sister of mine disregarded the doctors' advice, and although they advised her, she did not heed it. She was pregnant, and the pregnancy was lost. What is obligatory for her? Does she owe anything?
Answer:
Yes, if the loss of the pregnancy was due to her action, such as carrying something heavy or doing work that affected the pregnancy and caused it to be lost, then she has committed a sin. If it had reached eighty-one days, then she owes an expiation. If it was lost dead, she owes an expiation because the soul was breathed into it and it became a human being. So if she did something that caused the pregnancy to be lost, she is responsible for it and owes an expiation.
